Im welcoming myself back to flickr today...i was grounded for 2 weeks and during that time i decided to take a couple pictures and help my sister with her snowboarding. Im not very fond of winter..or snow for that matter but i will have to deal. This afternoon while i was uploading my last picture to flickr, one of my moms daycare kids sat next to me on the couch, her name is Addisyn, shes almost 2, she looks at me and touched my arm and says "you pikturs awe bewtifa" i just smiled and gave her a little hug. :) No one usually tells me that but i think they are so when i heard her say it, and little kids dont lie :), i just felt really happy and giddy haha :D Have a good rest of your week fellow flickr friends, i will upload more pictures by next week i promise, and i wont get grounded anymore, i promise that too :)
An art and archaeology project working with the story of a house buried in five industrial spoil heaps, known as the Five Sisters. At the project’s heart is an Edwardian photographic postcard of the house and the memories of Isabella Mason Kirk, who once lived there.
Heritage Site was realised through Cycle 10 Alt-w Production Award and a series of essential collaborations. Members of the Calder History Group shared their knowledge of people, history and place. Artist Clara Ursitti created a pungent and evocative olfactory intervention working with speculative fiction and memory. From the Glasgow School of Art Stuart Jeffrey, Research Fellow in heritage visualisation, brought a background in archaeology, computer science and digital preservation. The initial creative work of Mike Marriott, artist and lecturer in Visualisation, formed the basis for the point cloud animations of house and bings, created by Clare Graham, a postgraduate student on the MSc in International Heritage Visualisation. Mike’s model also formed the basis for the 1:12 physical model, made by Kevin Thornton.

About the Artist My work investigates the contemporary relevance of ‘found’ artefacts, their archives and specific sites through collaborative art processes with people who have significant connections to a hidden history. I am interested in how such artefacts, archives and sites carry both social and personal histories. This leads to a key question: what is our relationship to the past, and what is the value we ascribe to it? I have explored this through photography, bookworks, sound, the Internet and New Media. Dialogues with archivists, archaeologists, local community members, local history groups, and museum volunteers are instrumental in my practice. This means the collaborative process, and the physical site, shape the form of final artworks.
Photographs are often the starting point for a project, and their relationship to a present-day landscape. Therefore, living memory – before it becomes ‘history’ – is an important link to all my projects, which is why the recent past is of special interest. Since 2007, the use of oral reminiscence and exploration of non-invasive archaeological methods have become embedded in my practice. While the final outcomes of my projects may take different forms (such as a physical model for Heritage Site), they share the themes of land and heritage, working with individuals and communities who have witnessed significant change. This means stories and memories of place, work and family life include an aspect of the ‘unmaking’ of place, whether through economic decline and/or regeneration.

Black Ships Ate the Sky from Currnet 93 album under the same title.
I had already seen
Black Ships ate the sky
I was sweet sixteen
The fences folded
And the trees surrounded
Black Ships in the sky
Devouring the clouds
And the thought came to me
Just sweet sixteen and full of night
Who will deliver me from myself?
Who will deliver me from myself?
And I looked up at the sleeping lion
Black Ships ate the sky
Colours untold
Kissing my eyes
To unmake myself
And to be unborn
To be unborn
And not to see
Black Ships in the sky
With their cypress night
Following in the wake
Of the churning rudders
Of Black Ships in the sky
Cartoon Messiahs became
Cartoon Destroyers
If I was unborn
I would have nothing to be grateful for
I would have never seen love
I would have never held cats
I would have never buried my friends
And prayed for their souls
In reddening churches
I would never have kissed
And I would never have wept
And I would never have seen
Black Ships eat the sky
And I would have been unborn
And not have seen circuses
Whilst watching the flowers
Rise flags made of atoms
Who will deliver me from myself?
Who will deliver me from myself?
Who will deliver me
From Black Ships in the sky?
Black Ships ate the sky
And I am unborn
And then she bid on this one for my youngest daughter, made by the Tea & Textiles guild in Jefferson, WI. (just couldn't bring myself to unmake her bed to take a pic)

Residency Unlimited
360 Court Street #4 (big green doors)
Brooklyn, NY 11231
Please join us at RU for a double event featuring Montreal artist Lalie Douglas.
Douglas will present a preview exhibition of new work produced during her residency with RU. This evening will also serve to launch her recent publication.
Lalie Douglas: The Potential of Objects documents several of the artist’s ephemeral performative projects. These projects, which focused on the act of making (or unmaking) were often presented as one on one interactions with passers-by. Theses subtle works focused on art as experience and as such were fleeting but intense actions. This publication is a way of presenting the works to a wider audience and was a collaboration with the book designer and artist Karilee Fuglem.
The title “Broken Land” come from the Dutch place-name Breukelen meaning “broken land” from which Brooklyn gets its name. The subtitle; “Stories told and retold” refers to the construction of different versions and variants of similar sculptural scenes some quite large and others very small that are animated by stop motion narrative fragments.
Influenced by her residency in Brooklyn, Douglas’ work combines sculpture, drawing, printmaking and stop-motion animation to create a series of narrative fragments depicting familiar but unsettling scenes. Through repetition and variations of scale Douglas causes the viewer to question the authenticity of each telling. These pieces will be part of a larger installation of the same name that will be presented at the Maison des arts in Laval, Quebec in December.
The evening will include a discussion between the artist and Ayelet Danielle Aldouby, Special Projects curator at RU.
Lalie Douglas’ 3 months residency is supported by Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec. Her publication is made possible with funding from SODEC.
Order and Chance - The Unmaking of Time
Led by artist Sarah Sparkes
Monday 5 March – Saturday 31 March 2012,
This five-session course invites you to celebrate and engage with the diverse body of works and processes developed by the Italian artist Alighiero e Boetti. His extensive artistic practice is unique in the choice of materials, techniques and artistic strategies that he developed over the three decades of his professional life.
Time – its construction and de-construction – appeared as a recurring theme for Boetti. He was interested in the relationship between the conception of an idea and its execution, often directing others to make his artworks. Boetti considered everything in the world of potential use to the artist. The ephemera of the everyday were media through which he could explore his interest in the opposing relationship between order and chance, the individual and society, error and perfection.
Inspired by Boetti’s practice, this course is an opportunity to investigate and practically engage with the methods of working collaboratively and individually to create both intimate and large-scale works. Using everyday, easily accessible ephemera such as postcards, calendars, magazines, diaries, graph paper, maps and charts, we explore the representation of time and other systems of order and how to visually ‘unmake’ them.
This five-session course will conclude with a small exhibition of work on Saturday 31 March 2012, 16.00–17.00 in the Level 7 East Room at Tate Modern, open to friends and family.

This was one of those paintings that I kept painting over and over. It started out as an abstract. Then I painted over the abstract and added two giraffes that looked as if they belonged in a child's nursery - not exactly the look I was going for.
Frustrated, I started scratching off some of the paint (the opposite of mark making - mark unmaking?), then painted over the original giraffes and scratched around some more. The next day I came back and added different giraffes and big bold black strokes on the left side just because I had no idea what else to do. Then I left it thinking I'd come back and paint over the whole shebang one more time.
But I didn't. It hung in my studio for a while until I realized it was exactly what it was meant to be.
Now, my favorite part of this painting is the story that comes next. I always listen to music when I paint. And one of the musicians on my favorite playlist is Larry Pattis. I'd friended Larry on Facebook one day (and completely fell in love with him and his wife, Karla - as much as I was in love with his music!). And one day he asked to buy this painting.
One day I hope to meet Larry and Karla face to face. Until then, I'm just chuffed as heck that they have my painting hanging in their house.
And that I have his music in my playlist to listen to whenever I paint.

there's so many ways to act.
so many shades of black.
here i am at home, all dressed up and with unmake up on and skinny from the sufffering, with a vodka bottle, me and the cats on the couch.
and nothing more.
and the plants.
let it out
let it all out
say what's on your mind
you can kick and scream and shout things that are
so unkind
see if i care
see if i stand firm or if i fall - i don't
cuz in the back of my mind
and in the tip of my tongue
is the answer to it all:
it's all just a fuckin nightmare.
but we'll never wake up.
i'll never get used to this.
i'll never get used to this.
but this is what it is now.
you can't even take whatever's left and take with you out the door
because i've changed the blue door's lock. and i'm the only one who's gonna have the key from now on. no one but me again.
many shades of black.
everybody sees
and everyone agrees
and everybody's wrong. they're wrong.
me, the cats and a pocket smirnoff.
and you cannot take it back.

A fun engagement photo shoot before their Markham wedding in August. It was an opportunity to explore the Brickworks in Toronto with it's interesting variety of environments: both nature and man-made (and in some cases man-unmaking what man originally made!)

I put fresh sheets on the bed today, and made it up nicely. Clean sheets day is about the only time I make it. When I went upstairs tonight to check on Lucy (she goes to bed early) I laughed at her unmaking the bed -- one pillow had been kicked to the floor -- and her skill at wiggling herself under the covers!
P.S. The pink hippo is hers.

I put a quilt over the duvet that I call "the bed condom" because it's meant to keep the hair and dirt from my dogs off of the duvet. Normally, I find it entirely effective, but not so much today.

Can printmaking be used as a tool to unmake waste? Every year 20 million tons of post consumer textile waste is put into landfills. After years of working as a textile print artist and seeing this waste creation first hand, my work strives to unmake waste and give value back to these materials. All the prints in this series are made using waste, transforming discarded material into new forms. These pieces come to life by listening to my materials and letting them dictate the final outcome. By surrendering to the materiality, the work takes on a life of its own, creating a more spontaneous and unpredictable result. This process of creating has taught me to be more in tune with my materials and more aware of their inherent capabilities. The concept of waste is man made, even the most damaged materials can be repurposed or reused to bring about something new.
